A​ccess the Recording


This webinar will be delivered by IBM and STFC Hartree Centre scientists collaborating through the Hartree National Centre for Digital Innovation (HNCDI), a programme enabling UK companies to take advantage of artificial intelligence, quantum and high performance computing.

Specifically, the webinar will provide a high-level introduction to key technologies and approaches to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) and explain how these can be applied in a variety of settings to achieve business impact.

Several examples of the use of AI/ML systems will be given, drawing on work previously delivered by the HNCDI and demonstrating the breadth of capabilities that can be supported with these methods.

Join NAFEMS and the Hartree National Centre for Digital Innovation (HNCDI) on our webinar and let us guide you through our advanced AI & ML technologies, expertise and available funding opportunities and explore how these technologies can transform organisations and progress their digital journey.

NAFEMS and the Hartree National Centre for Digital Innovation

In this webinar you will discover:

  • An introduction to the HNCDI partners – STFC Hartree Centre and IBM Research
  • How AI and Machine Learning can drive business impact
  • Funding opportunities – how to engage with the HNCDI Programme

This webinar is provided in association with the NAFEMS HNCDI Call which will launch in Coventry on 1 October 2024 and is open to NAFEMS members looking to access fully-funded support to adopt digital technologies.

Within the engineering community, design is, more than ever, being driven by engineering simulation. This call will offer access to specialist resources in AI, ML and related technologies to explore how the use of these digital technologies may benefit the NAFEMS community.

The following underlying themes/technologies have been identified, which we believe may provide the largest impact and be of the most interest to the engineering analysis community:

  • AI and ML
  • Quantum Computing
  • Digital Twins
  • Through Life Engineering
  • Multiscale

In alignment with UK Government National AI Strategy, the aim of this open call is to demonstrate how digital technologies such as AI, modelling and simulation can help target sustainable productivity for both design and testing as well as manufacturing, and help organisations address issues of scale and efficiency using modelling and simulation and data management.

Register for our webinar to find out what we’re all about. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions of our computing, big data and AI experts to explore how these technologies can improve productivity and create a competitive advantage.
